Manthey Racing Unveils Limited-Edition Porsche Models Celebrating 30-Year Milestone
Manthey Racing has introduced two limited-edition race cars—the Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR 30 and the Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS Clubsport MR 30—to commemorate the company’s 30th anniversary. Each model is restricted to just 15 units and will make their world debut at the DTM finale at Hockenheim on October 9, 2026. Customers can submit order requests until October 30, 2026, with deliveries for the Cayman beginning in November 2026, and the GT3 arriving in the first quarter of 2027.
Nicolas Raeder, managing director of Manthey Racing GmbH, emphasized the models are designed for racetrack performance rather than mere celebration. “They exemplify development driven by specific customer needs and motorsport projects,” said Raeder.
